Abstract: The synthesis of propyl substituted asymmetrie tripyrrole-Containing macrocycles and their metal complexes are reported.These complexes show strong optical absorptions in the 740~780 nm spectral region and effectively sensitize the production of singlet oxygen as proved by their sensitized photo oxygenation of △3-carene forming good yield of “ene” type products, about 68% and their φ1O2 and φ1 are also determined.

Key words: singlet oxygen, porphyrin-like, tripyrrole, photosensitizer
